Instructors
Kyle, Corbin and Bridget Baxter There are two Kyles at the studio. Kyle Baxter is the owner. He has no tattoos. Kyle Larson? That dude has tattoos. Kyle (Larson) attended the Spring 2009 teacher training in Palm Springs, CA. He has taught Bikram Yoga in Fort Collins, Greeley, and Longmont, Colorado. Kyle likes puppies, ice cream, and hamburgers; he also likes to hold postures forever. You should take his class. It’s fun. Karen has been practicing yoga on and off since 2002, but It was not until she stepped back onto a mat at Bikram Yoga Fort Collins in Old Town with a messed up mind and body that she realized how much she really needed and wanted this yoga… not just any yoga… Bikram yoga! Within 3 weeks of starting practice again her pain and immobility from an old shoulder injury was completely gone and she was already weaning herself off of her anti-depressants. In the summer of 2009 Karen decided the next step in her journey was to go to teacher training. So, she thought about it, talked it over with her husband, then made up her mind and she was off to Las Vegas for the Fall 2009 Bikram Yoga Teacher Training session. She has been teaching since December 2009 and has loved every minute of it. She says every class she teaches is an absolute honor, pleasure and joy. Yoga has helped guide Karen on her life journey by enabling her to recognize her authentic self as well as the immense importance of balancing the mind, body, and spirit. More than anything, Karen would like to inspire others so that they too can feel the same bliss she feels upon completion of a Bikram yoga class. She does her best to teach her classes with the knowledge she gained at teacher training, from the senior teachers that ran the training as well as from Bikram himself. Karen hopes that everyone that she has the opportunity to teach leaves with a new union and sense of self. That they may have greater physical and mental strength, balance, and flexibility not only while on the mat, but in every aspect of their lives. Outside of practicing and teaching yoga, Karen is a full-time mommy and works part time from home with her husband in the field of Real Estate Investing and Property Management, and enjoys many hobbies including, but not limited to traveling, reading, hiking, biking, and spending time with her children, family and friends.

I am originally from Pueblo Colorado. Graduated from Pueblo East High School in 1994. While in High School I enjoyed running cross country, playing basketball and running track. Lettering 11 times qualifying for state 3 years in cross country and all four years in track, I was a state champion in 1992 in the 800 meters. I am curently in my high school hall of fame.
January 1999, I tried my first Bikram Yoga Class. After a college career of running cross country and track at Northwestern State University in Natchitoches Louisiana. " My body hurt." I had no feeling in my feet or calf muscles. After a couple of months of practicing Bikram Yoga my feet and calf muscles start to having feeling. I was hooked!!
Running and competing is all I knew. Bikram Yoga gave me chance to learn about me. How to control my breathe. What my limits are and that I am the only person that I am responsible for. I enjoy teaching Bikram Yoga I have the best JOB in the world. Hope to see you in the room soon.
Attened Teacher Trainning Fall 2005. Then moved to Fort Collins Colorado were I started teaching 15-20 classes a week and bought the studio in September 2006.
